Hey. I HAVE TOMORROW OFF AS WELL! YAY! My exam was cancelled!
Aside from that, I hope you are enjoying Pure, and that you feel Okay with criticizing me, if I am not doing what you want!
Here we go! The next sector of Pure
Azymus arrived at Malfoy Manor at exactly eight o'clock. He was greeted by Draco, and his parents. Draco smirked at him, nodded, then went back to his greetings, with a resigned look in his eyes. When he walked through to the ballroom, he was accosted by Astoria instantly. The hyper blonde led him over to a group she'd labeled 'The Elite Crowd'. Apparently these were those in School who Azymus who he had to make good with so to be secure as a pureblood in later life. He just let her tow him over. It will do me good. I think...
There, he was introduced to Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, the Flint twins Mortimer and Leonidas, Miranda Pucey, Pansy Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle, surprisingly Crabbe's little sister Isabella, Andrew Avery, and, to Azymus's shock, a set of triplets called Bluebell, Violet and Rose MALFOY. Millicent Bulstrode, Daphne, Tracey Davis and Merissa Rookwood were also chatting there.
" When did Draco get three sisters?" He asked Astoria in surprise.
" When Narcissa got pregnant again silly!" Astoria trilled. " They start Hogwarts this year." At the look on his face, she said " Don't look so shocked; there are 2 Crabbe children, 4 Malfoy's, and many pure families have more than one child. Didn't you know that!"
"No, I thought there was only one male heir per family!"
Astoria laughed at his ignorance.
He was then introduced to more rich, snobby children who looked down on him till he told them his first name, upon which they generally began to either grovel or suck up to him. He found the experience quite funny. Not to mention good for his ego.
He looked at the said snobby children who looked at him enviously- he had just walked right up to the hub of power, and not been torn apart! And he smirked. They all glared at him. Life might have got that little bit harder now He thought to himself Oh well. Nothing's harder than being destined to kill a psycho in another person.
The children were talking about Quidditch, Chess and various other mundane things when the music started up. All the boys groaned, then looked for a partner. Seeing the look on Astoria's face, Azymus danced with her. I do want to survive tonight with all my limbs, vital organs and sanity intact. He thought while hurrying over to ask Astoria to dance.
Thankfully, he had gone to a ballroom dancing class as soon as he'd been invited to this Ball, so he was not going to make a complete fool of himself and Astoria. As they danced they talked together, and Astoria made sure that he did not go wrong -too often. When that waltz ended, he then danced with Crabbe's sister Isabella, who was actually rather pleasant to talk to. He discovered that she and Astoria were good friends.
Finally, when all the dancing ended after about three hours, a bell rang, and all the guests strolled into the dining room. There was a massive table, laid for 200 people. Azymus, Astoria and the other children were seated near the bottom, with Draco at the head of that end. The first course was a Prawn Cocktail, which, as Daphne said, was the best one she'd ever tasted.
" If all the food here is this good, I might have to marry you Draco" she joked, causing everyone to laugh, and Draco to blush fiercely. They had just finished the last prawn, when the dishes vanished, and then the next course appeared. Azymus's mouth watered at the sight of roasted venison, potatoes, and stuffing. The plates were loaded with good food, and there wasn't much talking while they all ate.
And I thought Hogwarts food was good!
Talk returned to the table when every scrap of food had been eaten, and they were all joking together by the time that the desert arrived; profiteroles with mascarpone and ice cream.
When the meal was finished, Lucius Malfoy got up, and began to speak
" Thank you, my fellow magic users for attending the Summer Ball. I hope you have enjoyed the night, and that you will all return next year. Goodnight"
With that, the bell rang again. Azymus said goodbye to his new friends, and touched his Portkey.
"lightning" he said. And he felt the pull behind his navel, and he was gone from the Summer Ball, and was sitting on his bed back in the El Vive.
"Nice to be back" He said to Rima, scratching her behind her pointed ears. He then removed his dress robes, used a cleaning and ironing charm on them, and then hung them away. Then, after washing up, and getting into pajama's, he read more of the book titled ' Animagi for the Teenager: Transform in a Month!' He was well on the way to transforming into his forms- he could get hooves and fur for his horse, and the paws and fangs of his Panther.
I wonder if I could merge the two if I wanted? Like me being a fanged horse or something.
He tried to get hooves and fangs- And it worked. Rima meowed in shock.
Sweet! I can bite people while being a horse! This rocks!
After more experimenting- He attempted to become a hoofed panther, but ended up almost getting stuck- He put the book on his bedside cabinet, and drifted off to sleep, dreaming about waltzing, laughter and food.
Hope you enjoyed it! It is a bit short, but what can you say? This isn't a Super Harry Fic.
